Moving Day and Stringing Cranberries.....

We decided to do the old fasioned christmas garland by stringing popcorn and cranberries. Well I did not feel like hanging "BUTTER LOVERS" popcorn on the tree so I tried using "Corn Pops" they actually worked out better and looked really cute. Grandpa helped and Rylee took pictures. It was a good Family Home Evening.

I tended the boys while Jim went and helped with the moving. First they moved Lee and Veloy out of the house and into their new home and then they had to bring all of Zac and CJ's things from the shop back to Lee and Veloys. It was a pretty long day but the boys and I got along pretty good. Treyson had a good time trying to build a train while Tagg kept trying to tear it down. I can see why we are to raise our children while we are young. I was pretty worn out and really had not done anything....

Grandpa did stop in to help out a little by feeding Tagg.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Today is Mother's (Florence Mae's) 84th birthday. I wanted to take her out for a really nice steak dinner at the Outback Steak House. So I took the afternoon off work and Jim and I took her to Layton. Who knew that the "Outback" did not open till 4:00 pm. Oh well. We went to the "Lone Star" instead. We got mother a really nice filet mignon steak with a nice salad and a "twice baked potato" (which was a new menu item) and thought that it would be a great meal. Mother would have rather gone to the "Sizzler" but I told her no that we wanted to go some where really nice. Well her steak was very dry and grainy and the twice baked potatoe was very small, dry and tasteless. So much for trying. anyway I mentioned this to the waitress and the manager came over and comped her steak. All in all she said she had a nice day.

After we ate I took her to visit with Jean Richins and they had a great time catching up.

Annual Yellowstone Trip

We took our annual trip to yellowstone on Conference Weekend. We rented a cabin that was huge this year and invited the Browns and the Wilsons to go along with us. The cabin was not really decorated as nice as the other ones but it was sure big. It slept 32 people and we only took 14 with us. We had a great time.

THE WILKERSON'S

THE BROWNS

THE WILSON'S


This is #6. He had already taken out 37 cars so far this year and we were able to witness the taking out of #38. He does not like the flashes of cameras or car lights.

This was a big elk just laying in the grass in the park. He would not get up for us to get a good picture of him.
